Courses
From Neoclassicism to Romanticism, Orientalism to Realism, Impressionism to Post-Impressionism, this course examines the evolution of the genre of the nude and the social and sexual politics at stake.
On the occasion of the National Gallery’s upcoming exhibition 'Vincent Van Gogh: Poets and Lovers', we will consider the enduring interest of this painter and how his relevance is being framed anew.
